Most of the Black Friday stuff I’ve seen has been tat or not very worthwhile anyway; I want to get a Nintendo Switch for the kids for Christmas and the Amazon “deal” is about a fiver on a 400 quid bundle.

Be good to see this American thanksgiving import die a quiet death methinks.

Yeah, it gets worse each year. Not bought a single thing from Amazon, not because of this buy nothing bullshit but because I have not seen a single thing I want, let alone a good deal.

Just walked in the door. Started at 02:30 Thursday morning, after sleep of an hour. Then followed a 22 hour day which consisted of driving up to London in a convoy of three large vans, unloading said van into York Hall and proceeding to put together the setup seen in the picture below (Minus the stage) for a boxing match or 10. Running that event till gone 23:00. Going to a hotel and getting 5 hours sleep. Up again at 05:45 to head back there and add the stage, plus more lighting and such. Then running another event, after which we packed it all up and headed over to Kings Cross to help pack down another event. Left London at just gone 5 this morning and in a n hour my ex is dropping the kids off for the weekend. 6 hours sleep in the last 72 or so and I won't be sleeping till tonight. Yay?

Fucking chimps. I’ve said this before on here, if there’s ever a food shortage or humans start to go hungry, could you imagine the scenes?

Yes. Which is why I have 6 months of food stashed. There are just 3 days worth of food in the supermarkets. If the supply chain broke for whatever reason...

I need to get on this, been meaning to for years. Do you eat from the cache and top it up to keep the expiry dates rolling?

No, its dried stuff and tinned stuff. Will keep for years. Oats, rice, pasta, tins of fruit and veg, tinned chilli etc, salt, honey, oil, couple of bottles of booze. Then things like candles, matches, warm blankets, first aid kit etc

Its not exactly world cuisine but it doesn't cost much and in the event of someone fucking something up, it will be meals.

I have everything else I would need to cook from my camping stuff, water purification system, fire stuff etc.

Indeed... almost tempting to start collecting MRE's and bunging them in the shed for that exact reason :p

They are generally expensive and taste like shit. Far better off vacuum packing your own stuff.

You are simply hoarding supplies for the local gangster, you need a gun as well.

One good use for AI will be a proxy server thst strips all the bloat , scripts and bullshit from websites so we can have the internet back.
You can reducecmost sites by 95% and give your CPU a rest.

If only there was some way of doing that already, they could call it an adblocker or an extension called NoScript or something.

They are far from perfect and they use CPU to remove the script, so still long way off, the adblockers are actually slower on my older phone.

You could route all of your traffic through a VPN and have it do all of that for you and forward the results to your browser, I suppose. Nothing to do with AI though, and there's still a CPU somewhere doing the work.

Thats what Im talking about..you would need an advanced AI to combat the coders attempts to hide the scripts and get a sensible looking webpage from the output.
